An Australian family has set a new world record for the most Christmas lights used in a home display, by stringing up 502,165 LED lights that would stretch more than 31 miles when laid end-to-end, according to NPR.

The family recruited friends and volunteers to hang the lights but it reportedly still took weeks to complete. Check out the awesome light display in the video.
